I'm a Geek, Yes I am

I have a deep, dark secret that I must confess. I own a Rubik's cube shaped like Darth Maul's head. It's not so much that I'm a huge Star Wars fan, but it was just such a bizarre object that I had to have it. And now there's Darth Tater - a Mr. Potato Head who has obviously crossed over to the dark side of the Force. I am feeling a strange compulsion to own this - perhaps the dark side calls me.

Darth Maul is currently unsolved. He could be joined by Anakin/Darth Vader, Amidala/Princess Leia, Jango Fett/Clone Trooper, R2D2/C3P0, or even Sidious/Dooku (from the forthcoming movie, I presume). I could have a whole set of messed-up heads because I can't solve them. Although that would be an accurate reflection of my mental state.
